My Acer - Big Head !!

[Richard]

It's looking pretty good this year....



I would be a big head, but I've done absolutely nothing to it for nigh on 11 years.

It's a Haven for the Birds.

It does every year. Absolutely magnificent. My one is a little titch compared.

That's a beauty Richard. I have one in a pot in the yard and I love it, only it's a titch I bought it from BQ as a throw out specimen( in the bargain bin) My dad has a good many varieties in his garden too. On google earth you can see one in his front garden! amazing technology

The worse and horrible side of me sometimes thinks "Bet that's worth a bob or two" !!

I post about the Acer every year. Besides the vegetables, it's about the only thing of real interest in the garden, although I do look after the trees and shrubs.

In about a weeks time, the Iris array will bloom, albeit short lived, it's a joy to walk around (left overs from a gardening job I did about five years ago) - they're everywhere !

Our irises are over now but there are huge seed pods on them now. I love the blue type.

Beautiful specimen, Richard. I bought 2 for a fiver from Wilcos a few weeks ago. They're just spindly twigs now, but in years to come....

Its a lovely specimen Richard and the sun is shining, my plants which do well give me great joy, when my clemetis flowers in may i think everything is ok in the world,
